Lois Schneider Realtor, which continues the lessons and vision that Lois Schneider started over 35 years ago.  Lois not only passed on her extensive real estate knowledge, but she taught the value of giving back to the community through hard work, dedication and philanthropy to community causes.  Lois believed that the heart of a town lies in the generosity and involvement of those who live and work there, and Lois Schneider Realtor, now under the direction of Karen Schneider, Lois's daughter, will continue to be an active part of this community.  “Lois Schneider Realtor  has been a consistent and enthusiastic supporter of Reeves-Reed Arboretum since its founding in1974”, states Frank Juliano, Executive Director, “ and we are pleased to be celebrating this 20 year partnership with them.”
